"YES, UNCLE" TO-NIGHT.

Lovers of bright musical comedy will no doubt 1)0 pleased with the announcement that "Yes, Undo" commences its Wellington season to-night. The play is a fine examplo of tho elegant style of amusement that the J. C. Williamson management know so well how to handle It is said to eclipse many of its predecessors, established favourite* though they be- Catchy music, a ulot that is none too flimsy, and a cast that is excellently chosen seem to assure for "Yes, Uncle" a successful run in New Zealand. The principal characters in the piece are a young married couple and a wealthy uncle. The young persons have a little plan to deceive uncle about their marriage. The plan hardly proves successful, because it has obvious disadvantages. Just what a tangle the plotters get into is demonstrated in some very funny scenes. Many of the players to appear to-night have shone briiliantlv in tlio best musical comedy roles with which players south of Ihe line have ever been furnished. After seven performances "Yes, Uncle" will be replaced by "Go ; ng Up." The box plans are at the Bristol. KING'S THEATRE.

Tom Moore will appear ini Gold-Yi-yn's latpst produet j on, entitled "Ono of the Finest," and, judging by the appreciative audiences this week thp picture justly deserves the title. A special added attraction is the appearance of Mr. Charles SmvHm, the eminent Australian basso, who will be heard in the Proloirue from "I Pagliacci," "There's Only One England," and "Up from Somerset.'_ Mr, Smvthe possesses a- voice of exceptional power and ramre, and his numbers constitute a musical treat. He is supported by Miss Anita Greene, soprano, and Miss Miriam Kutner, accompanist. EVERYBODY'S" THEATRE. "The Shuttle," which is being screwed at Everybody's Theatre, is adapted from the novel of the same name, and features Constance Talmadge.

A strong supporting programme is being shown, EMPRESS THEATRE. The programme which is being submitted at the Empress Theatre this week includes as its star a delicious comed.v drama, entitled "Ruggles of Red Gap, with Taylor Holmes in the title roK The supportin? programme includes episode ten of "The Lightning Raiders."

Complimentary concerts of any raaarnltude are not frequent in Wellington. It is rarely, however, that afunction of this kind has been organised with a better claim to public support than tho concert to Mr. H. E. Wood. Apart from the merits of the programme announced for AVedncednv next, it is hoped that the public will not forget Mr. Wood's unselfish labours for the innumerable patriotic calls during the strenuous war poriod. In addition Mr. Wood's labours for the good of music in Wellington have been inestimable. Appreciation of the objects of the concert may be shown at the Bristol office on Monday morning next, when the plans will open at 9 a.m.
